Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a successful thermal recovery process and has
been widely applied to oil sands production. The prediction of oil production of the SAGD …

The optimization of water alternating gas injection (WAG) process is a complex problem,
which requires a significant number of numerical simulations that are time-consuming …

Abstract Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) recovery is strongly impacted by
distributions of heterogeneous shale barriers, which impede the vertical growth and lateral …

The process of reservoir history-matching is a costly task. Many available history-matching
algorithms either fail to perform such a task or they require a large number of simulation …

We evaluate the application of eight different global search algorithms to the optimization of
oil production from a mature field. Our focus is on algorithms that treat the reservoir simulator …

Production data which is always available at no additional cost can give an invaluable
information of fracture geometry and reservoir properties. However, in unconventional …

Shale heterogeneities often impede the development of steam chamber in many steam-
assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) projects. Unfortunately, static data alone is generally …

We present a probabilistic approach for integrating multiple data types into subsurface flow
models. Our approach is based on a Bayesian framework whereby we exhaustively sample …

This study examines the application of pattern recognition technologies to improve the time
and effort required for completing successful history matching projects. The pattern …

High water saturation zone, which is also known as lean zone, and shale barrier, are two
common types of heterogeneous features in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) …
